This sounds more like low-effort spam filtering than a hoop that’s likely to block legit applications.


the moment i heard chatgpt can make resumes i knew no one was gonna bother with latex ever again. companies are gonna have to adapt to this - literally everyone on the planet is getting bombarded with "use AI or perish" messaging, why would they not use llms to format/create/write resumes?


And I think it’s fine, but what they’re filtering on with their ChatGPT canary is people who don’t proofread the output to make sure it’s a resume they stand behind. It should be easy since it’s all about you, right?

When using AI, “distrust and verify” is the best policy.
